[JAVA][Beginning Java 8 Games Development]

Chapter 17 ■ Enhancing Game Play: Creating a Scoring Engine, Adding Treasure and an Enemy Auto-Attack Engine
and for this version of the game, having one .collide() method to process per pulse allows us to optimize the game
play processing, while still having a game with the different game features that an arcade game would include. As you
can see in the Enemy() constructor method, the Enemy character isAlive, isBonus, and hasValue, and so all of these
properties or characteristics of the Enemy will be set to a boolean value of true inside of the constructor method, after
the sprite location has been set using .setTranslateX() and .setTranslateY(), and after the SVG data, Image, and initial
X,Y location data is passed up to the Actor() constructor using the super() constructor. The Java code for the Enemy.
java class can be seen error-free in Figure 17-18, and should look like the following Java class structure:
package invincibagel;
import javafx.scene.image.Image;
public class Enemy extends Actor {
public Enemy(String SVGdata, double xLocation, double yLocation, Image... spriteCels) {
super(SVGdata, xLocation, yLocation, spriteCels);
spriteFrame.setTranslateX(xLocation);
spriteFrame.setTranslateY(yLocation);
isAlive = true;
isBonus = true;
hasValu = true;
}
@Override
public void update() {
// Currently Empty Method
}
}
Figure 17-18. Create an Enemy.java class, override the .update() method, and code your Enemy() constructor method
